the farmers and not so good for
the outside construction workers.
However, our work has been hold-

eral weeks of rains. Most of our
members have worked through it
some way.
We have nine on the out-of-
work list at the present time and
if the weather will get on the
sunny side and continue, I feel
sure every one will be “out”.
I will attend the Four States
Building Trades meeting in Okla-

week (March 20.) The four states
include Texas, Okla., La. and Ar-
kansas.

We want to remind all members
’ our meeting will be held April 3rd
at 7:30 p.m. and all members
should be in attendance as your
contract expires this year and you
should be getting your business in
order and decide what changes you
would desire in your new contract.
Work is holding up very well
ald our members are all working
in spite of the bad weather we
are having. Although we have had
quite a few members off with the
flu it seems as though all are over
the sickness and back on the jobs.
Just to remind a few of our
members to take a good look at
their Union card and make sure
you are paid up. There are a few
who are in arrears.

2. At home out of hospital.
3. Double while in hospital.
4. Pays over and above workmen's compensation and

Then it struck him! What would happen if he were sick or

urged Congress to initiate a con-
stitutional amendment providing
for election of the President by
popular vote rather than to seek
a mere "patchwork” change in the
present Electoral College system.
Federation Pres. George Meany
presented labors views to the
House Judiciary Committee which
is considering a smorgasbord of
proposals for electoral reform.
Meany took issue with Pres.
Nixon who suggested a “propor-
tional” system of dividing a state’s
electoral votes because he didn’t
think a direct election amendment
would be ratified by the required
three-fourths of the states.
On the contrary, Meany insisted,
direct election is the one proposal
that has broad public approval—
demonstrated by big majorities in
public opinion polls and in endorse-
ments by a wide range of organi-
zations, including the American
Bar Association and the U.S.

“None of the other proposals has
any comparably broad support,”
Meany noted. And all suffer from
a common weakness—they could
result in the election of a Presi-
dent who received fewer votes
than an opponent.
Meany told the committee that
the AFL-CIO supports a consti-
tutional amendment which would:
Provide for the election of the
President and Vice President by
direct, nationwide popular vote.
Require a runoff between the
two top candidates if no candidate
receives at least 40 percent of the
popular vote.
Establish a single constitutional
standard guaranteeing that all
persons 18 or above have the right
to vote in presidential elections.
Authorize Congress to pass leg-
islation governing the conduct of
presidential elections and the re-
quirements for being listed on the
ballot.
Meany noted that Nixon said his
"personal preference” would be
for direct popular election but he
doubted whether it would be rati-
fied.
There would be a better chance
